"People are outraged"

Former Justice Dept official Stacey Young speaks about the 1,200+ former agency officials who've urged Senators to block the nomination of Todd Blanche

This DOJ has only challenged one merger in the last 1.5 years, though career attorneys have recommended challenging several. When DOJ leaders consider antitrust reviews a nuisance to dealmaking, consumers lose.

Justice Connection has brought together more than 1,200 former DOJ employees to oppose Todd Blanche’s nomination for AG.

Our letter warns Senators that a vote to confirm Blanche is a vote to undermine the independence of our Justice Department. Read it: https://t.co/HpYlF1UeJB

When hundreds of intelligence analysts are reassigned from their usual workload to review 2020 voting records just because the President can’t accept that he lost, it puts our country at risk. https://t.co/uhjgiF6ois

"The heart of the organization are the career people."

Former Acting Attorney General @stuartmgerson explains why the loss of experienced career attorneys at the Department of Justice weakens the institution—and ultimately, the rule of law.

The Civil Rights Division’s Educational Opportunities Section “has lost most of its attorneys under this administration because the department made it clear that it was not interested in doing the traditional work the section had done combating discrimination in education,” said Justice Connection’s Stacey Young. https://t.co/pblCF8UndU

A new @ACLU report shows that police in Louisville, Minneapolis and Memphis continue to use excessive force after DOJ ended consent decrees last year, calling them “unjustified.”

DOJ’s abandonment of police reform is putting communities at risk. https://t.co/2VzsckJRGr

Changing DOJ’s Environment and Natural Resources Division to the ‘Energy’ and Natural Resources Division caters to the priorities of the President and an Administration using energy “emergencies” to evade environmental laws.

When DOJ scales back white-collar criminal enforcement, the message to large corporations is clear: even serious allegations can end in a slap on the wrist instead of real accountability.

The White House’s pressure campaign against the MSPB to make it easier to fire career employees is an attack on the safeguards that keep government accountable to the law rather than to politics.

Marnie Shiels spent 24 years at DOJ’s Office on Violence Against Women. She warns that DOJ’s proposal to fold OVW into a broader grantmaking bureau would violate federal law, add bureaucracy, and weaken the specialized leadership survivors depend on.

The President and White House Counsel should have no role in resolving DOJ cases.

Antitrust enforcement must be driven by career staff applying the facts and the law, not political pressure from the White House.

“If the Senate confirms Blanche, it’s not just confirming someone as attorney general; it’s endorsing Trump weaponization. That’s what’s at stake in the Senate confirmation: whether the Senate will exercise what I believe are its responsibilities to ensure that law enforcement isn’t abused.” – Jack Goldsmith

A former AG should be the first person to reject an AG nominee who signs off on weaponized prosecutions and investigations, unlawful DOJ firings, the president’s IRS immunity deal, and failing to fully comply with the law to release the Epstein files.

Blind loyalty is NOT constitutional judgment.

The immigration judges and DOJ officials speaking out are shining an important light on what’s happening inside our immigration courts.

Due process depends on independent judges free from political pressure.

OPM’s proposed governmentwide NDA would make it harder for public servants to speak out about abuse they witness from the inside.

Justice Connection submitted a public comment urging OPM to reject it. Join us to weigh in before June 26: https://t.co/TvG9oCzZLu

Former IRS and DOJ officials are warning that Trump’s proposed settlement could give him, his family, and his political allies extraordinary protection from tax audits.

No one, not even a president, should have his own tax code.

In yet another example of DOJ abusing its immense subpoena powers, a federal judge ruled that subpoenas to Governor Walz and Mayor Frey were meant to coerce Minnesota officials to carry out Trump’s immigration agenda—something states aren’t obligated to assist with.

When victims are ignored, justice is denied.

Justice Connection’s latest Substack details how DOJ leadership has repeatedly failed their duty, from the botched Epstein files release to shelving victim-rights training and privacy protections. https://t.co/m2TAWNmOrR
